Monday morning saw hold ups of just 10 minutes leading to commuters being thanked for heeding advice on how to avoid congestion.
Twenty minutes was still far below expected delays of up to 75 minutes.
By 0850 BST on Tuesday the time taken to cross the bridge had fallen to five minutes and traffic was free flowing by 0920 BST, Scotland Transerv said.

Repairs to the bridge will run until 26 June.
